    They should be “this is worthy to be seen by many” and “this is not”. Sometimes that also overlaps with my agreement with the post.

      This is how I use the vote arrows too.

      I think I’ve gotten a little idealistic since moving to lemmy because I definitely used the votes as agree/disagree on Reddit, because it was clear that was what the hivemind decided it was for, who was I to argue.
